SHALLOTTE, NC, December 20, 2012 (Press-News.org) As bipartisan bickering continues in Washington, the question at the forefront of the consciousness of many Americans is "What ever happened to teamwork?" Award-winning author and international business consultant John J. Murphy of Venture Management Consultants answers this question and many more as organizations worldwide seek his wise counsel and coaching. From the U.S. Navy to Fortune 100s, Murphy teaches that teamwork is the ultimate reflection of wisdom and balance. He is the author of 14 books and has appeared on over 400 radio and television interviews. In his opinion, the answers to these questions can be found in his definition of teamwork.
"We must begin by looking at what teamwork really means," stated Murphy. "Teamwork is a cooperative effort in which individual interests are subordinated to the interests and the needs of the team. This means giving up some of the me for the we. Teamwork is a process requiring 'we-opic' vision and a 'what's in it for the we?' perspective rather than the all too familiar 'me-opic' and 'what's in it for me' attitude."
John J. Murphy's body of work is immense. It is especially pertinent in light of today's need for building effective teams, learning to work as a team and the development of team leadership. He is the author of numerous books on leadership and teamwork, including 'Pulling Together: The 10 Rules For High Performance Teams' and 'Pulling Together: The Power Of Teamwork.' His company, Venture Management Consultants, specializes in helping people and organizations worldwide achieve and sustain peak performance through effective deployment, development and implementation of best practice techniques. These include, but are not limited to, lean six sigma, leadership skills training, and leadership in management, leading change, kaizen, customer service and sage leadership.
"I think teamwork is critical to success in any arena," Murphy continued. "People worldwide need leadership that understands this. It does no one any good when we have leaders dividing people rather than pulling them together. The power of teamwork is what makes nations and organizations great. "
John J. Murphy is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at jjmurphy13@comcast.net. Murphy's books are available at Amazon, at his website and many other online book outlets. More information, including a full list of services and authored works, can be found at his website.
Recognized as an international expert on leading culture change, John Murphy helps organizations address this issue head on. The author of 14 books on related topics, and a guest on over 400 radio and television stations, Murphy teaches leaders worldwide how to integrate the culture piece (of OE) with the systems, structural, and "tools" components. Approaching the change process with an integrated strategy leads to powerful, measurable, sustainable results.

6 Ideas to Avoid the Fiscal Cliff (and Any Future Fiscal Catastrophes)
2012-12-20
What's the worst that can happen if President Barack Obama and Congress fail to reach a compromise regarding the impending fall off the so-called fiscal cliff?
If the automatic mix of tax increases and federal spending cuts kicks in, there seems to be little consensus on what fall-off there might be. Would it send America back into recession? Roil the markets and lower stock prices? Increase unemployment? Create domestic and international turmoil? International outcry?
Probably none of the above. The bottom line is that this is a symptom of a larger issue.
